That was a rule for 2021, but does not apply in 2022. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-jersey-number-change-cost/1wctmhnwlhsx1tjj1yluzqbxu

Well, if everybody here gets their wish of first round wide receiver than he will not play much more than that.

I like Pitre a lot. I almost picked him for the Eagles earlier in the 2nd. Great value here imo.

Right and they gave him a bunch of small guys with deep speed to throw to. Hill and Waddle can do other things obviously, but their strength is their speed. Just doesn't make any sense. Even the Will Fuller signing last year, like who is gonna get it to him?

Crazy its 50/50

One of the reasons McDermott let him leave in the first place is the schematic fit. I know Gilmore is older now, but he was a man cover corner, not much of a zone guy. They could have given him a franchise tag and they didn’t. I don’t think they wanted him.

Love Jt28, but in 2019 besides Biadasz, he had Cole Van Lanen drafted by the Pack 6th, Logan Bruss goin this year. In 2018 he had Michael Deiter 3rd round, and David Edwards 5th round in addition to those guys. Beau Benzschawel was an UDFA. Not an earth shattering group, but solid. Biadasz, Dieter and Edwards are really good starters in the league. The other guys are depth guys.

This team could use some more eyebrows. So why not.

I like Kyle Fuller. I’d be ok with Rhodes. Don’t love Haden, but I would be ok with it.

If you draft Smith, I am not sure he starts this year. He sits and develops, then replaces Saffold next year. I prefer to find impact starters, but after getting our corner, not sure there is an impact starter in the list besides maybe Walker. You could potentially draft a linebacker who replaces Tremaine next year, but I think Smith is too good to pass up here. I think you need a starter at corner. We have respectable depth there at wide receiver right now and projected starters, plus two tight ends. Unless you are displacing Gabe Davis or Crowder, you aren’t drafting a starter if you take a receiver in the first, and that’s why I don’t like it. Woolen has upside but will be a liability for a team trying to get to a Super Bowl. McDuffie and some of the other guys are plug and play.

I like Smith a lot. A little raw, but he’s huge and crazy athletic. He’s a monster.

I think he has a chance to go higher. Not sure if he makes it to our pick. But the off ball linebacker need around the league isn’t crazy and it is a bit of an undervalued position, so it’s feasible that he drops mid to late 2. And there is depth at that position. Lloyd, Dean, Muma, Asamoah and Harris are probably all ahead of him in most pecking orders and some coaches and schemes will prefer Brandon Smith, Darrian Beavers, Damone Clark, Leo Chenal.

Thanks! Off the top I could not remember that next tier of guys

I love Anderson. The speed, but he’s also super interesting and for a guy who hasn’t played the position long, his instincts are really good.

Andersen and K. walker?

Some guys for poll imo: LB Troy Andersen, Brandon Smith, Leo Chenal, Quay Walker, Christian Harris OL Tyler Smith, Nicholas Petit-Frere, Abraham Lucas RB Kenny Walker, Isaiah Spiller DB Jalen Pitre, Lewis Cine, Jaquan Brisker, Tariq Woolen DL Demarvin Leal, Perrion Winfrey, Logan Hall TE Trey McBride WR Jalen Tolbert, John Metchie, Danny Gray, Reggie Roberson, Justyn Ross (i’d consider Tolbert and Metchie here, seems early for the other guys)

I just don’t think they will make an effort to re-sign him

Yeah my next step in this story was to look at other positions to see which ones led to the most Chips. Thanks for doing that.

I saw that they met with him at the combine and had a sneaky need so 🤷‍♂️

But Thurm, it was a list of 20 years of first round guards all of whom except for 2 (1 as a starter and 1 as a backup) who have not won a Super Bowl. It isn't cliche, it's a fact. Look at all the super bowl winner the last 20 years and many of those lines are put together in the mid rounds. Whether Bates came in or not, I don't think anything in our fate changed last year if say Boettger stays healthy. And btw, Bates and Boettger were both UDFAs. Don't draft these guys in the first round. You can get them everywhere. Now if we had a corner who wasn't slower than my grandmother whose dead, well then, our fate may have been different. Perhaps if we had higher level talent to fill in for Tre'davious White as well. That changes our fate. A guard does not. You want to win a super bowl or draft a solid guard? That's the choice in my mind. Winning is how you measure success.

With the 51st pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select Breece Hall, RB, Iowa State. This is Philly's MO. Draft defensive guys high, take a running back in the second or third. Miles Sanders is a free agent after this year, so the Eagles are in rinse and repeat mode and Hall replaces Jordan Howard while injecting speed into the offense. Sandres and Hall can split carries this year as Hall takes over full time next year as they do not want to pay a running back. Hall is a nice fit for the one cut read option game that the Eagles employ and they meet with Hall at teh combine. They want to surround Jalen Hurts with the best weapons possible to figure out if he is really the guy. The Steelers and @RyanC883 are now on the clock.

Definitely valid points, but Bojorquez is actually right handed. Lefty kicker but right hand dominant. I don’t know how rare that is, but it’s a fun fact in his bio.

Instead of moving up and sacrificing draft capital for these guys, maybe just sign Will Fuller, or re-sign Sanders, trade for Shenault, or get Ridley out of the looney bin and away from his bookie.

This doesn’t pass the smell test. It makes sense for the Bills to package picks like the did in the Dion Dawkins draft to wind up with multiple 2s and 3s. A move like that makes sense. A move up in the first really doesn’t. The only vet trade move that would get you up is probably 25 and Dawkins to get 6. Rhule loves Dawkins and they need a LT bad. But a trade like that makes no sense for us because your franchise left tackle who protects your franchise QB would be gone and you just create another hole. All that to draft a corner? Another LT? Hanilton to play big nickel as some have suggested…seriously??? Yeah I don’t think so. Dion is the only player outside of Josh Allen who could get you up there. Poyer, Edmunds, etc etc ain’t doing it. So all that said, maybe the Bills make a minor move up if someone they like starts slipping into the late teens. But the rumor of trade ups is probably coming from the idea that they probably don’t want to draft 8 guys. Package picks to move up and down the board and get 5 guys you targeted.

Yeah he’s not trying hold his gap and protect linebackers…he’s looking to physically demolish whoever is in front of him. That plays anywhere imo.
